[Breaking up of the Blue Stocking Club]
Visual Materials
A watercolor and ink drawing satirizing a Blue Stockings Club meeting turned violent with five pairs of women fighting while dressed in blue stockings and torn attire. The scene depicts women attacking each other with scalding water, a brass trivet, and pulling each other's hair while raising their fists. The women wrestling in the foreground are illustrated with exaggerated facial features and are partially nude as their garments and hair are disheveled during their fight. Details include three frightened cats leaping in reaction to the brawl while surrounded by falling furniture, spilling tea sets, and overturned chamber pots. Two bottles of alcohol are illustrated spilling on the floor, one is labeled "French Cream" and the other "Ratafia." In March 1815, the watercolor drawing was slightly altered and printed by publisher Thomas Tegg as hand-colored etchings titled Breaking up of the Blue Stocking Club.
